We are very pleased and proud to say that The University of Manchester is ranked 1st in the UK for biotechnology, and 36th overall in the world.
This result is a testament to the people who make up our exceptional teaching, support, and research community. 🎉
We’re proud that in the 2024 @ShanghaiRanking World Universities (#ARWU) Subjects Rankings, @officialuom placed among the top 25 worldwide in 7 subject areas.
We’re ranked #1 in the UK for 3 subjects and have moved up in 21 subjects thanks to research excellence and impact.

Increasing efficiency is what Anthony Green especially enjoys about his work. ‘We take systems from being initially maybe only five to 10-fold more active than the parent small molecule, to hundreds of thousands of fold faster.’
